Big Changes in Natick Routes Starting by Weekend

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation is modifying the intersection of Route 9 (Worcester Street) and Oak Street in Natick overnight on Thursday, Nov. 19, by restriping the intersection and updating the signals.

Effective Friday, Nov. 20, at 7 a.m., traffic traveling on Oak Street approaching Route 9 will be directed to follow the new traffic configuration in place.

This intersection improvement project redesigned Route 9 and Oak Street to a standard four-legged signalized intersection with left-hand turn lanes, said the announcement.

Traffic will be alerted to the new signalization in place by advanced notification signage.

Work on this project also includes signal interconnection, sidewalk construction, pavement resurfacing and reconstruction. Final project completion will take place in the spring of 2016.
